One of the most common questions we receive at Amber Jean is: “How do I cut the lace on my wig?” If you’ve ever received a wig shipped to you, it’s normal to feel a little nervous about trimming the lace. The good news is—it’s super easy, safe, and straightforward.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to cut your wig’s lace for a perfect, natural finish.
What You’ll Need
-
Your Amber Jean wig
-
Small, sharp scissors (avoid large scissors or garden scissors for precision)
Tip: Using small scissors gives you control and reduces the risk of accidentally cutting too close to the hairline.
Step 1: Take Your Time
When cutting the lace, slow and steady wins the race. There’s no need to rush:
-
Start by trimming small sections at a time.
-
Leave a little bit of lace beyond the hairline—this gives you breathing room to adjust later.
Pro Tip: You can always trim more lace if needed, but you can’t put it back once it’s cut.
Step 2: Cut Around the Hairline
-
Gently cut along the wig’s lace perimeter, following the natural hairline.
-
Keep a small margin of lace all the way around for a natural look.
This method ensures that your wig remains secure and looks seamless while giving you the flexibility to make further adjustments if needed.
Step 3: Check Your Work
-
Once you’ve removed the excess lace, review your work in a mirror.
-
If necessary, carefully trim small sections to get the perfect finish.
Tip: Leaving a small amount of lace not only makes styling easier but also helps the wig blend naturally with your scalp.
Cutting the lace on your Amber Jean wig doesn’t need to be intimidating. With a little patience, the right scissors, and small, careful movements, you can achieve a flawless, natural-looking hairline.
Remember: take it slow, leave a little wiggle room, and adjust as needed. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is!
